A member asked:
1. i have read that chancres are ulcers with a clean sunken base? can chancres have a white base and start off as a large lump(almost like cheek has been bitten and swollen) and get smaller with time? 2. can syphilis be passed orally without a sore?

Generally a syphilitics' ulcer i clean and well demarcated and heals in a few days. But variations can occur depending on situations. If there is no syphilitic lesion then chances of transmission are near 0
